System Description
The Fusion Ultraviolet Lamp System has been designed specifically for applications
involving the industrial curing of inks and coatings and may be used effectively for a
wide variety of applications.
An ultraviolet (UV) lamp system for industrial curing must generate extremely intense
radiation in the 200-400 nanometer region. Such radiation, when properly generated
and focused, and used in conjunction with specially formulated UV sensitive inks and
coatings, causes virtually instantaneous curing (drying) of the exposed materials.
The unique properties of the Fusion UV Lamp System are obtained by using
microwave radiation to energize the lamp. Microwave energy at 2450 MHZ is
generated by a power tube (magnetron) of the type widely available for commercial
microwave cooking ovens. The patented Fusion UV Systems lamp has no electrodes,
and consequently overcomes many of the basic limitations of conventional mercury
arc lamps.
